REGINA – The Saskatchewan Roughriders signed Canadian running back Matt Walter on Thursday.
The five-foot-10, 215-pound Walter spent the last four seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. He played in 59 career regular-season games — 14 being starts — and rushed for 1,264 yards on 237 carries (5.3-yard average) with four TDs.
Walter, 26, a Calgary native, added 28 catches for 217 yards. He also appeared in eight playoff games, helping the Stampeders win the 2014 Grey Cup.
“Matt has proven to be a versatile running back through his first four seasons in the CFL,” Saskatchewan head coach/GM Chris Jones said in a statement. “He is a powerful young guy and proven winner that will help our national depth and give us options in the backfield and value on special teams.”
